This was my first non-14 count piece, and I’m considering doing all of my future stitches in 16 count. It’s a square to go into a big quilt which will be sold off for the Child’s Play charity done on sprite stitch, giving terminally ill children video games. I will also be doing a fire n ice stitch, but I might change the game…

I loved the TNMT when I was a kid, and when Pokemon came a bit later in the 90s, I fell in love with that too (And still am a MASSIVE fan :D) and when I saw BigRedJake’s design I just had to stitch it. This is my first attempt at non-cross stitch embroidery, and I think it came out well. There are a few other types of embroidery that I want to tackle next, but I need to find a nice design…BigRedJake Image

This was for a Sprite Stitch competition called “Anti-Valentine/Unlikely Partnership”, where two characters who can’t work together get together. So what better than the oldest forlorn couple? I sadly didn’t win, but I came 5th. If you want to see the other entries, look HERE.

I love Fallout 3, and I had just finished New Vegas too, so wanted to do something fallout related, I’d seen a few vault boys around but none of them were good enough in my eyes, or whole, so I had to make my own pattern.

I did soil science at uni, and saw old school posters about soil all the time, and I wanted to really capture that, but with Dig Dug. It came out exactly how I wanted it to, but it only really makes any sense to me 😛 Although that didn’t stop it getting its own post on Mr X Stitch: Link

I was late in finding and playing this game, but me-oh-my is it good? I still play it now, the most used app on my iphone… :/ Racked up a screenshot from multiple ones, it was my largest piece to date at about A3 size.

After fiddling around with plastic canvas, I wanted to do something a little different, and to push boundaries a little. I always loved fiddling with my brothers generation 1 transformer toys and it started from there. Its based on the original toy series, so transforms into a Peterbilt style semi-tractor. It uses wire (paper clips) to move the joints. This is my best piece in my mind so far, and have started making a second transformer Jetfire, and have plans for Soundwave and Starscream which can be found on my etsy. Its now been featured on: Mr X Stitch: Link Gamespy Reddit: Link And won Penny Nickels Contest: Link If you look out for Cross Stitch Crazy Magazine, I will be published in their March issue!

You can buy this pattern on my Etsy shop and many other transformers, so go have a look! LINK
